Tourist Guide to the Whitsundays
74 Island Wonders located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. A visit to the Whitsundays is a feast of the senses, surrounded by natural beauty, dotted with secluded beaches and friendly towns from which to explore.
The hardest part is choosing how to fit it all in!
The Whitsundays is a social and lively place with spectacular restaurants, clubs and bars to party well into the night, or quiet, undiscovered coves, beaches and rainforest to explore just minutes from the heart of town.
Head out on an adventure to discover the diversity of the Whitsunday Coast, the lush greens of the tropical rainforest of Eungella National Park begin south of the Whitsundays, meandering north through the cane fields of Proserpine and diversifying west to the reds, browns and greens of Collinsville.
The fusion of colours is a memory that will stay with you, and the abundant landscape of the Whitsunday Coast is as beautiful as the azure blue of the Coral Sea.
Take your partner for a luxurious, romantic escape; show the kids something they have never seen before and build lasting family memories; or why not get a group of friends together for a week of fun and laughter!
